The first zombie apocalypse game for SteamVR was announced today. It's called Arizona Sunshine and it's being developed by Vertigo Games and Jaywalkers Interactive.


In Arizona Sunshine, you’ve been driving around for god knows how long when you hear a flash of a human voice on the radio, confirming your belief that there are still survivors out in the blistering heat of the post apocalyptic remains of the Grand Canyon state. Arizona Sunshine poses a two-fold battle for survival in a VR zombie apocalypse in which players need to navigate the hordes of zombies coming for their brains as well as the scorching heat that they will come to hate in their search for human contact.

Arizona Sunshine is a VR shooter built and optimized for room-scale VR from the ground up. Step into the midst of a zombie apocalypse as if you were really there, and defend yourself against enemies close enough to touch. A custom-built physical animation system makes striking your undead enemies more thrilling and satisfying than ever before.
